Walk The Moon, Ty Dolla $ign headline UF Gator Growl

Wednesday

Billboard chart topping group Walk The Moon and grammy-nominated artist Ty Dolla $ign will be the headline artists at this year’s Gator Growl on Nov. 2 at Flavet Field.

Florida Blue Key, an association independent of UF public funding, is paying the headline acts and not immediately disclose contract terms for the two artists.

An alt-rock quartet from Ohio, Walk The Moon is known for their multi-platinum hit, Shut Up and Dance, which topped three different Billboard Charts in 2014.

Ty Dolla $ign is one of hip-hop’s most highly demanded collaborators. The artist has contributed his writing skills to songs by Kanye West, Chris Brown and Rihanna, and is featured on hits such as “Psycho” by Post Malone and “OTW” by Khalid. His mixtape and EP series Beach House led Rolling Stone to call him one of the “10 New Artists You Need to Know in 2014.”

Gator Growl is an annual homecoming tradition during the Friday night of UF Homecoming, which attracts UF students, Gainesville residents and alumni from throughout the nation. Past musical and comedy acts at the event have included Lynyrd Skynyrd, Ray Romano, Kevin Hart and Dana Carvey.
